STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LABOR RESOURCES IN MODERN CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article examines current issues of strategic management of human labor resource development in the context of Ukraine's modern economic environment. The purpose of the article is to identify key aspects of the effective utilization and development of labor potential to ensure sustainable economic growth. The study analyzes contemporary approaches to strategic management of human labor resources, which have evolved from traditional periodic planning to dynamic models that consider rapid changes in the external environment. The primary paradigm of modern management emphasizes quick decision-making and proactive responses to market challenges. Particular attention is paid to the impact of military actions on labor market indicators in 2022-2023. Mobilization into the Armed Forces, population migration, and a decrease in the unemployment rate to 5.1 thousand people (36% of the 2018 level) have resulted in a significant labor shortage. Nearly 70% of employers faced challenges related to a lack of skilled workers and skill gaps. The primary demand in the labor market remains focused on blue-collar professions. The authors highlight the necessity of implementing a comprehensive approach to strategic human labor resource management. It is proposed to regularly analyze the state of labor potential, develop motivational programs, create conditions for career advancement, and invest in employee training and retraining. This approach will enhance employee loyalty, reduce staff turnover, and ensure organizational adaptability to external changes. Future research should focus on developing innovative methods of human labor resource management that meet the current needs of the economy and the challenges of the labor market.
